Warning – Spate of Violent Burglaries

I have been asked by the police to let people know that there are a lot of burglaries taking place in the area at the moment.

Asian families in particular are being targeted for women’s jewellery with gangs of up to five men breaking down doors and ripping necklaces off. This is obviously very frightening and intimidating. It is not only Asian families that are suffering but that is a particular target at the moment.
